(found som posts from 2004 but no answers)

Looking for some help on installing a SMS gateway and a Phone or GSM modem on a linux server for nagios.

We already have a GSM modem from nokia called Nokia 30 but this is VERY old and i have not found any info on using it on linux (no info @ nokia's support page either )

It might be easyer to install a mail > sms service and just send mails from nagios to that service, but i have not found any "free" software capable of doing this.

Any help on this subject would be apriciated.

Thanx in advance..

You can try smstools which lists your modem as working but not tested.

Good luck

Hi,

Take a look here:

There is a full tutorial avilable also on Nagios wiki

http://community.nagios.org/wiki/ind...TEMS_SMSFoxBox

On how to integrate a SMS gateway bult wiat a modem with a SIM card, to Nagios to obtain SMS notification.
The guide is based on Nagios 3.0.6.

For a larger deployment, you'll want a proper out-of-band channel, which means a dedicated GSM modem (or at least a dedicated phone); but for a smaller site (like a personal blog), it's probably easier just to use a web-to-SMS gateway like clickatell and something like wget to trigger the actual sending of the message. See here for how I did that:

Is sms a must? I used sms in the past with nagios, but in the current day of smartphones, email is a much cheaper option.
